How to Get to The Visitor Center

 

Wragg Square

The heirs of John Wragg planned his estate as the suburb of Wraggborough, naming streets for various members of the family. The family dedicated Wragg Square and Wragg Mall to the public, and they remain open greens today.

Marion Square

This square became home to the South Carolina Military College in 1843. The Old Citadel building, as it is now called, dominates one end and a memorial to John C. Calhoun on a fluted stone pillar the other. It also has the last remnant of the City’s Revolutionary War fortifications.

Charleston Judicial Center

100 Broad Street

When a parking garage was planned for the site of the Quaker Meeting House Graveyard, many individuals were reinterred here. The building houses a statue of William Pitt, erected by Charlestonians in 1770 in honor of his support of colonial rights. It originally stood at the junction of Broad and Meeting Streets.

Charleston County Courthouse

84 Broad Street

First constructed in 1753 as the provincial Capitol for the colony of South Carolina, this is one of the most important buildings in the state.

City Hall

80 Broad Street

Originally constructed as the Charleston branch of the First Bank of the United States, this is the second-oldest City Hall in continuous use in America. It is open to the public and houses a notable collection of paintings.

Washington Park

Originally laid out as part of the city square in 1818, this park was developed in its present form in 1881 as part of a civic improvement program and renamed in honor of George Washington.
